You can also get a big break on your tickets if you will allow yourself
to get bumped from a flight, or buy a bump coupon from another a passenger
who was bumped. Bumping happens when airlines overbook flights, which they
often do, or some important person shows up who has priority over regular
passengers. In either case getting bumped results in big savings. You can
get another flights, possibly for free, and even a hotel room if you have
to wait overnight, just see what the deal is that the airline if willing
to give you for your seat. Using one of these bump coupons though requires
that you get reservations only 24 to 48 hours in advance.
But let's say that you are the tourist with the emergency. Someone in
your family died, or you just got an invitation to a wedding and need to
get across the country in a hurry. In this case you go directly to the airline
and tell them your needs. You will get a much better response on a death
than a wedding, but try it anyway. For deaths the airlines have what they
call "bereavement" fares, and you will probably be required to furnish a
death certificate or documentation from a doctor. You will get an excursion
fare price, which won't be as low as standby or bump, but will save you a
lot of money anyway over a regular fare. The best airlines to go to for
bereavement fares are Continental, Northwest, and US Air.
Travel cubs also specialize in last minute air travel. They take care
of the work of finding the standby tickets and big last minute discounts,
and all that you have to do is join in order to get all of their information.

The easy way to fly first class FREE while paying coach fare - something
airlines don’t want you to know about. While this isn’t something
you have full control of, it’s something a tourist needs to know about
if you want the opportunity to have a free upgrade.
If your flight is canceled, you are changed to a smaller plane, you're
forced to miss a connecting flight, or they divert your flight to another
airport, you are entitled to compensation. Legally the airline is only entitled
to put you on the next available flight to your destination. But if that
also includes an upgrade to first class, then they can’t charge you
for that either. While they may just put you on a bus to your original
destination, make sure that you ask if any first class seats are available
on the next available flight, and offer to accept them in order to get your
destination.
While this sounds silly, it is one of the best ways for most of us to
get free trips and hotels.
Everyone, so it seems, has credit cards. And you know, if you just spend
$100 a month over 10 years, you have spent $12,000 for the privilege of having
that credit card, and nobody even thanks you. Wouldn’t it be better
if you had a couple of trips to Hawaii, or a trip to Europe, as a reward
for sending all of that cash to the credit card company. Well you can have
exactly that if you want to. All that you have to do is get one of the credit
cards, VISA and MasterCard, that works with the airlines and you got travel
miles for your dollar purchases.
The whole point of this is to get you something for nothing, and getting
something in return for money you are already spending qualifies just fine
in that category. The usual credit is one mile of travel credit for each
dollar on your credit card bill. You may even get bonus miles for signing
up and transferring money onto the card, and cards sometimes run specials
where you get multiple miles for new purchases. In any case this is ideal
for the person who doesn’t travel very often, maybe because their money
is all tied up in credit cards, but would like a nice free trip every couple
of years.
Here is a list of frequent flyer plans for credit card users. Just contact
some until you find one you want to join and fly for free.

TICKET WHOLESALERS FOR
TOURISTS
Save up to 90% on any airfare from these ticket wholesalers just by calling
the phone numbers listed below. The ticket agencies listed normally sell
their tickets to group travel companies but also sell to the public. The
source of the tickets is the airlines themseleves who use the agencies to
get rid of surplus tickets (its better to fill a seat at half price then
fly empty), or to move large blocks of tickets to keep their volume up. After
all, you can’t keep a route open if you don’t fly planes on it,
and for that you have to have passengers.
